The crew of a clipper ship had to work together smoothly to keep the ship sailing. To help, they sang work songs called sea chanteys.
The chanteyman sang out the verses. They set the rhythm for the work to be done. The chanteyman made up his own lines, and the men joined in the chorus. The songs were about sailing, fishing, love, war, anything and everything. The men heaved or pulled the ropes on the beat of the chorus.
Different rhythms were necessary for different shipboard jobs. There were slow capstan chanteys sung while turning the capstan, a large wheel on deck used to pull up the anchor. There were halyard chanteys sung while pulling up the sails. Pumping chanteys were sung, when the sailors manned the pumps amidships, and short-haul chanteys were sung for any job that required quick, sharp pulls.
The underlined "chorus" implies that______ . ( )
选项
A、man, no matter who he is, should work with the spirit of teamwork
B、whatever we are doing, we can sing a song together
C、only the crew of a clipper ship need to sing a chorus when they are working
D、chorus is a way of entertainment for sailors to relax themselves
答案
A
解析
推理题。“画线部分chorus用在这里暗示了什么。”文章自始至终都在以唱水手号子这一方式强调团队精神对于水手工作的重要性,从而也揭示出,无论谁,具有团队精神都是同等重要的,这也就表明了chorus(合唱)用在这里所要表明的言外之意。
